So according to the Pinkbike article, Yeti updated the linkage and associated hardware because they realized durability was an issue they were looking to solve. But it only comes on the Turq level frames. If you spend $8,400 CAD (the lowest amount you can on a complete SB160), you're too much of a peasant to get hardware that Yeti themselves believes is sufficiently durable, assuming the Pinkbike article is correct - I didn't see anything to corroborate this on Yeti's website.
